My girlfriends father will have about 6 acres of useless hay which he wants shot of. Too much ragwort and rubbish for feed so they will be burnt, anyone in that area want them for burning, anyone got a farm boiler and want some free btu's?

GreenMech is pleased to announce the launch of its new Arborist range at this year’s APF 2012 at the Ragley Estate, Alcester, Warwickshire from 13th to 15th September with a showcase at IOG SALTEX at Windsor Racecourse this Tuesday 4th to Thursday 6th September to whet the appetite. We hope to see you there! GreenMech is using these premier groundscare and forestry events as a launch pad for an exciting new series of chippers that has been designed in response to recent consumer interest. As many of you know, over the last few years the demand for firewood has meant that contractors are keeping any useable wood for log production and typically look towards chippers as a means to dispose of the waste brash. The new Arborist range is a family of two road-tows and one tracked chipper unit that has been specifically manufactured to tackle this task. They are reassuringly built with our usual high engineering standard including the renowned technical innovations exclusive to the GreenMech brand. The simple to use and cost-effective range all comes in a traditional in-line format with a letter box style in-feed throat of 150mm x 230mm that allows heavily forked branches to feed in easily. The vertical hydraulic rollers then efficiently crush the material with minimal lateral movement. Each model has a deep beam high tensile steel chassis construction for strength; a wide in-feed chute that helps reduce the need for brash reduction with chainsaw; a folding tailgate* that allows stowage space for items such as road cones. Once dropped into the working position, the tailgate gives a guide as to the correct maximum height of 600mm from ground level for the in-feed table. The individual models are: The Arborist 130 which will initially be supplied with a 23hp Briggs & Stratton petrol engine with a 20hp Kubota diesel engine available from the first quarter of 2013. This road-tow unit weighs less than 750kg so no licence restrictions for drivers. The Arborist 150 which has a choice of either a 26hp or 34hp Kubota diesel engine. This road-tow unit weighs less than 750kg so no licence restrictions for drivers. The Arbtrak 150 will be supplied with a 34hp Kubota diesel only and has been designed to complement the existing SAFE Trak 16-23 and QuadTrak 160 tracked options. This new family of chippers has been designed to rationalise our existing product offer so please note that they will be replacing the current Arborist 13-23, Arborist 15-23 and Arborist 16-23 road-towed units. We sincerely hope you will be attending one of the two forthcoming shows look forward to seeing you at either SALTEX at Stand DAB13 or the APF show at Stand 120 where you will be able to see first-hand our new range in action. In the meantime should you have any immediate queries please do not hesitate to call GreenMech Sales Director Martin Lucas on 07788 411617 or get in contact with your regional sales representative. *comes with road-tow units only.

How about the Asain karaoke singer - Gerupta Singh......

Good luck Phil, best wishes to you in your new job. Was this the position that Rebecca Shields is trying to fill for that agency in Birmingham?

Twernt me Paul, I have a Hyundai IX35 for a reps express!

I did a chipper awareness course for a Local authority some years back and a wise guy added a silly name for inclusion for a certificate of attendance - All very funny and noticed in time...I still check through the list every time now.. What are the ones you've seen? here is a couple to start with... Anita Goforadump Mustapha Shchitt Edna Bucket

I see Victoria Pendleton's bike seat is for sale on Ebay, bargain - not to be sniffed at....

Twas me...I think...anyway, come to the open day and see the new tool....

Outdoor Power Tools were the original Timberwolf dealers before the became GreenMech dealers. As previous TW people, they will have done shed loads in the past.....Stephen or David Gregory are top engineers in the workshop and they have a depot in Derby (top side of town) and in Glenfield in Leicester. Derby office is 01332 830449

I got from Crete a bronzed God albeit a fat one....off to Balmers open day tomorrow (Thursday), I understand that our new Arborist 150 is there and I've the job of taking back to the factory ready for Saltex..... Impressive spec and a damn good price too.... the official launch is at Saltex but come to Burnley for a sneaky preview....

Not too shabby, I have to say....our CS100 with the 18hp has an opening a tad smaller than a sheet of A4, is listed at a tad over 4 and a half K plus vat, comes via a dealer near to you with 12months warranty. That is what we get on the engines from the supplier. There is precious little else to go wrong!

How much is the Bandit 4" machine? The warranty package sounds attractive but there ain't such a thing as a free lunch!?!

I learnt to drive in the first Landrover to be registered in Hereford and Worcester many years ago now....I wonder where she is now.....chassis number was just over 100 I think.

Anyone looked into the Kramer articulated mini loading shovels? Kramer is part of the Wacker Neuson thing and their diggers are quality stuff!

The GreenMech CM220 runs a 55hp as a road tow. So you could well be there with your tractor, how much can it lift close too?

I'd buy a GreenMech....... Come to Saltex and the APF. Use your 5k as a deposit and vat on a new machine and get piece of mind, warranty and a shiny new machine! I'd get to see what's new from GreenMech.........

You've had her in bits, why? I would've said go for a full refund at minimum as it appears to be unfit for purpose; namely, that wouldn't last long before going bad!....

I am trying to get there myself although I don't get back til the 29th.

Good find Lee. I enjoyed the flash mob in the food court where a load get and sing the Hallelujah Chorus! Epic stuff.

Try some of the others too. Tetris and the dj entertain!

Come to Saltex and the APF. There will be an interesting concept on the GreenMech stand along with the QuadChip.

A couple of funny things that help you waste the day!!! Scary Spider - Play Free Online Games

Balmer's Garden Machinery, the GreenMech and John Deere dealers (amongst other things) are having a two day open day at Laund Farm, Burnley. BB12 9DU on the 29th and 30th of August. 10 while 4 both days with catering on site. They will have available all the stuff that they sell, including John Deere, Stihl, and GreenMech. Steve Pulman, Simon Philips, Kelvin Barton will be there from Balmer's and Al Thompson will be there from GreenMech and Peter Bagguley may show up on the last day if he is back from holiday! GreenMech might give their new, as yet unreleased, 6" chipper a pre-Saltex showing but keep that news quiet! A 1928 Safetrac may be there, a QuadChip or Trac may be there as well as a CS100 too. Get to Launds Farm if you are not going to Saltex....

I had a stand there some years ago. As far as a woodchipper supplier goes, it wasn't worth going to as the people who visited, weren't the buyers of that type of thing. However, the show did seem to be friendly and some other good exhibits to spend and afternoon doing nowt...I had a brilliant time with Martin from Tafe tractors showing him how to use a Robinson Reciprocating double saw that he had restored and was using for the first time!

Balmers Garden Machinery from Burnley cover that area too. Call Simon Philips on 01282 453900. No idea on rates, the have GreenMech and Timberwolf on the fleet.
